Element

The steak and ale pie is absolutely world class at element. The all-butter puff pastry comes out of the oven perfectly cooked with a golden crust. The filling stays piping hot long after it arrives at the table. The service was excellent and there was even live music. It’s a great place for a meal or a lively night out.

We went to Element yesterday afternoon to have a couple of cocktails. We were pleased to see such an incredible range of cocktails and in particular, Bloody Marys! The bartender who served us(didn’t catch his name!) was so passionate about his creations and showed a genuine love for what he did. I have never seen seen someone pour so much blood, sweat and tears into making a cocktail and it certainly paid off. The price we paid for the expertise and quality of drink we received is unmatched anywhere. He genuinely made our trip to Edinburgh! The classic Bloody Mary was the best we have ever had and it will be hard to beat. We didn’t eat, but the food we saw looked amazing. We’ll definitely be back! 🥰🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿🍅🌶️

First time eating here at Element and didn't disappoint. There's a large bar at the front and restaurant and the back. We chose the brisket hash and salmon/dill sandwich. Brisket hash was very tasty with a rich sauce, crispy potatoes and runny fried egg. The salmon/dill sandwich had plenty of filling and the salmon itself was of good quality. Would definitely recommend.

2nd time we've been here for drinks. Staff are lovely and friendly. I tried 3 of the new dessert inspired cocktails. They were all lovely especially the angel delight and Lemon Cheesecake one. The creation of the bar guy (sorry didn't get his name). He was very pleasant and friendly. Well done on the cocktails Still to try the food but will certainly be trying shortly

We booked a reservation for the bar thinking that we'd be able to also order dinner there. Silly Americans! No problem for the team here - they let us order drinks at the bar while they prepared a proper table for us (myself, my wife and 10 1/2 year old - he ordered a soda at the bar). We're so grateful that they accommodated us so easily. And, the food was amazing. As was the service provided by everyone that worked there. Highly recommended!
